Looking at buying new set of wires, and trying to decide if there is really any advantage to the hei tower cap over stock. Have a mopar performance distributor.
Plan on going with firecore custom length wire set.

The conversion cap frees up some room on the cap, as the boots are a lot narrower than the big brass boots. No need to worry if the terminal is making contact onto the cap terminal. Stainless steel dual crimp terminals snap loudly.. Thanks for the opportunity and trust.

What I like about the male terminals is you never have to check them between rounds to see if they are all on tight thumbs
Just snap them down when you buy them and forget it.

Tower terminals require only 90deg boots, castle towers you can put straights

Has anyone ever started making a tower cap for the old, steel, Prestolite style distributors?
